    Awesome - I would have to say that this is a great shoe... I had some trouble finding things for it to match with but for its purpose it was perfect! It's comfortable as hell and has its own unique look/design... to some that might be alittle weird... but for me... it is just another thing that I can wear that isn't part of the mainstream America.... DEFINATELY A GREAT SHOE!

    My recent order - Vans have always in my opinion had the most consistency in sizing over the years. I have been wearing Vans since the Early 80's and have never had a pair that hasn't fit. I know that any time I walked into a place and just grabbed an 8.5 and purchased it without even trying it on, it would fit. When a shoe hasn't modified it's fit in 20+ years you just always know what you're getting. I will be buying more shoes from Zappos as the need presents it's self. You guys are proving yourself fast and reliable and this is just my first order.

    This shoe can be compared to none. The style is great for lookin super fly on any occasion and fit my personality great. It would have been nice though if you would have had more size selections because I am a 9 in this style. However with a heel pad I was ready to go. I am so very pleased with the speedy delivery and that you upgraded my order to next day delivery for free. I am a first time customer and will purchase shoes from you again soon.

    SKATER HEAVY LOW TOP LIFESTYLEZ - These shoes are the same as the originals except they have a bit of padding near the "ankle" area which isn't near the ankle at all. These are the best shoes for skateboarding that you will ever buy and if you get the checkerboard ones than you will get girl's numbers. Try rollerblading in these and see what happens...

    Long time wearer of Vans - I have been an avid Vans fan since day one and I have found them to be the most comfortable shoe for whatever activity I am doing. I still have a pair that I bought over 12 years ago that I wear on special outings with my motorcycle friends and after a long ride they sure feel good on my feet when I change out of my riding boots. My kids are hooked on the styles and comfort as well, and now my grandkids wear them too! When it comes to comfort, Vans is #1 for me and my family! THANKS!

    Cool, comfortable, simple- I've worn Vans for the last 20 years and this is one of my favorite styles. I like these compared to some of the outrageous styles out. These are more simple and basic, plus, very comfortable.

    Too bad they’re not in wide any more- Use to wear these all the time very comfortable for the first 6 months of wear, but now that Vans don’t make wide anymore (9 EEEE), I can't wear this style now.

    Great Shoe, Well Worth the Money- I owned a pair of the Dogtown Edition Eras for almost four years. Finally, they were finished, so I grabbed a pair of these. Fit is true to other Vans, which seems to be the same throughout most major brands (except for specific running shoes). The only problem is that they were pretty uncomfortable for the first day, but then they were fine, which is considerably good for a break-in period. Everything else is excellent and fast shipping from Zappos as always!

    Van-tastic! I am a 46-year old woman who is still trying to stay in the game, stylewise. There was a time in my youth when I might find these supremely comfortable shoes ugly, and even dorky. But, thanks to the skate generation, I can be oh so cushy AND stylish at the same time. After I showed up in these, my boyfriend's 76-year old mother bought a pair, too. Now, that's scary, on so many levels.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Converse, PF Fliers (if only to reminisce), Campers, if you can stand the lack of support

    Second pair - My first pair of Vans were great shoes but I wore them out. I bought the same style and size for my next pair but the fit was not as good as my original pair. My first color choice was brown but they were not available so I chose pink and grey. I should have waited for availability on the brown pair.

    Happenin' These shoes are pretty sick to say the least. I wear them all the time because the quality is superb, comfort is satisfying, and as for the look, well, let's just say I am very happy with it. Very. These sneakers are definitely in their own league as far as athletic footwear goes.

    Great comfort - The only negative thing I have to say is the low arch support - no biggie because I have orthotic inserts. I wore these for the first time and WITHOUT socks and they didn't seem to have a breaking-in period the way some shoes do. I will definitely buy more!
